Y'all, he's Black. Just saw it on Fulton County's website. But in my defense, when was the last time you met a Black Brent?

Also, he's been arrested like three times this year. Buddy is a menace

From the people that repeatedly shoot at the Emmitt Till Memorial Marker comes Brent Jones, who was arrested for pissing in the reflecting pool and destroying the eternal flame at Martin Luther King's burial site www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Atlanta burial site destroyed

Police say the man also urinated in the reflective pool.

"The single most embarrassing thing a US president has ever done" SO FAR

Big Fat Bartolo's Colon @bigfatbartolocolon.bsky.social · 1d

I think we can all agree, without hyperbole, that this is the single most embarrassing thing a US president has ever done

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

I'd feel bad for the guy if I didn't know a little bit about Lee Greenwood

If it was any other one hit wonder, I'd think it was too harsh. Junior Giscombe wouldn't deserve this

Why did Mike Johnson throw Lee Greenwood out there like the internet definitely wasn't going to mock Lee Greenwood's career for the rest of the week

Fuck Germany. This ALREADY HAPPENED HERE.

Ex. Black women could not be considered rape victims under the law because we werent considered women. This was proven during Jim Crow when 7 white men kidnapped & gang raped Recy Taylor in Alabama.

Black people have always lived under a dual state

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 4d

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 4d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

I remain stunned at the way Donald Trump *always* manages to find the worst or most divisive thing to say to the nation at any given moment

TIL that i am older than my credit score

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 5d

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors.

They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.
